"As I was driving up toward Windber tonight, I could see a few places where it was beginning to drift," he said. "We will have guys on until midnight and I think we will call the guys who would start at 4 a.m. in early."

Throughout the day, Bendick also said crews saw several vehicles that became stranded in the deep snow.

"Most of them were garbage trucks hauling garbage to the local landfills," he said. "Right now, we are just pushing the snow back. It is really starting to get bad."

When the storm ceased, many areas were left with more than 6 inches of additional snow on the ground.

One resident, Jim Madden of Kuhntown, said the weight of the snow brought down his newly-purchased car port.

"I just backed my truck out from under it and I walked up onto the porch and that was when I heard the creaking," he said. "No sooner than I got on the porch, it came down."

Luckily for Madden, who lives in Jefferson Township, he - nor anyone else - was not under the carport when it collapsed.

"I just want people to take the time to make sure that something like this doesn't happen to them," he said. "This is just terrible."

The snow also wreaked havoc for a local weather observer near Glencoe.

According to A.J. Jarosz, an observer for the National Weather Service, he was out clearing his driveway with a newly-purchased snowblower when it quit.

"It died on me," he said Tuesday. "So, I had to go get the roto-tiller to try to finish the rest."

Jarosz said he recorded an additional 5.6 inches of snow.

"We have a total of about 17 inches out there now," he said. "We could have had more than 5.6 inches today."

Jarosz explained that the accumulation should be recorded every three hours.

"I am guessing that we probably had more like 6 or 7 inches," he said. "After a while, the snow will pack down."

Not only did Jarosz have difficulty outdoors Tuesday, but he also found difficulties inside his home.

"I didn't have my telephone until about 4 p.m.," he said. "I had to drive to my neighbor's house to call and report it."

Jarosz said the outage was due to circuitry at the telephone company's office and not at his home.

"So, it has been one heck of a day," he said.

While many area residents braved conditions Tuesday, Labik said he was fortunate enough to walk to work Tuesday evening.

"I live in the borough, so I just walked in to work today," he said. "I wouldn't drive unless I absolutely have to."

According to the Associated Press, residents can see mostly cloudy skies today with scattered snow showers. Highs are expected to be in the mid 20s. The chance of precipitation is expected to be 50 percent.
